Amanda Poso

My communication style

I tend to show up authentically, with warmth, curiosity, and compassion. I enjoy creating a relaxed space where we can talk about the big things, celebrate the small wins, laugh when it’s needed, and spend a few moments catching up on how your week has been. I also enjoy teaching about concepts and terminology so we can develop a shared language.

My journey to mental healthcare

After working with at-risk youth for many years, becoming a mom reshaped my understanding of healing. My journey taught me the power we have in creating healthy children. Today, I help women reconnect with themselves because empowered mothers create stronger families and lasting generational change. The kids didn’t need ME, they needed their mom.

My goals for you

Healing is flexible, which is why I take a semi-structured, collaborative approach to goal setting. Together, we’ll identify a larger treatment goal and break it down into smaller, meaningful milestones that feel achievable and build confidence along the way. My hope is that each step forward feels intentional while leaving room for life’s changes.

Our first session

Think of our first session as a conversation, not an interview. We’ll spend time getting to know one another, talking about what’s bringing you to therapy, and exploring what you hope to gain from our work together. There’s no pressure to share everything at once, we’ll build trust over time, and we’ll only talk about things you are willing to.
